You Have What You Came For

[Verse 1 — Solo Male Vocal, Dry Restraint] The help can hear you perfectly. No need to carry on. I’ll shift your bloody shell myself If that will get you gone. You’ve got your terms, your precious prize, Your payment neatly laid. You got what you wanted, Father. Now take it. You’ve been paid. [Verse 2 — Solo Male Vocal] Well, that’s put paid to small talk. You can see the penny drop. I’d meant to ease you into that. He’s rather forced the lot. Yes, that explains the accent. No, we haven’t kept in touch. We’ll have a natter when he’s gone. He’s taken up enough. [Chorus — Solo Male Vocal, Full Melodic Baritone] You have what you came for. There’s nothing for you here. No reason for another question, No reason to come near. I know that look. I’ve lived beneath it. Don’t take me for a fool. You have what you came for. They’re not coming home with you. [Verse 3 — Solo Male Vocal, Sharper] Your thumb went still against your cuff. Your smile was half a beat behind. You looked from her towards the boys. I know when something’s caught your mind. A tiny hitch. You covered well. The others might have missed the sign. I’ve watched you get a bright idea. You won’t be trying it this time. [Verse 4 — Solo Male Vocal, Growing Heat] There’s a growl beside my shoulder. Rocky’s planted at my side. You’ve called his best mate “help,” And he’s not letting that one slide. He heard your little “wolfhound.” You thought you’d said it low. He’s a golden retriever, you prick. There. Now we both know. [Verse 4 — Solo Male Vocal, Warmer] He’s showing teeth on my behalf. I’ve never asked him to. He doesn’t turn to weigh my name Against the things you do. He heard me call you Father. He hasn’t moved an inch. You might find that worth studying. He didn’t even flinch. [Chorus — Solo Male Vocal, Full Melodic Baritone] You have what you came for. There’s nothing for you here. No reason for another question, No reason to come near. I know that look. I’ve lived beneath it. Don’t take me for a fool. You have what you came for. They’re not coming home with you. [Instrumental Break — Expressive Slide Guitar] [Bridge — Solo Male Vocal, Wry and Warning] It’s getting dark. Best get a move on. That nice security bobby’s on the job. He’s lovely with the little ones. With you, I’d watch that gob. He’s not quite so polite at night. You’ve time to do things properly. He’ll rip you a new one if you stay. Take the hint and hop it. [Final Chorus — Solo Male Vocal, Soaring] You have what you came for. I’ll help you get it clear. I work here. That’s an honest answer. These people want me here. They gave me work, a place to sleep, Without a test I had to pass. You have what you came for. You’re taking nothing else, you arse. [Outro — Solo Male Vocal, Restrained] The shell is loaded, every piece. You turn and make your way. I let you reach the open door. There’s one thing left to say. [Outro — Solo Male Vocal, Firm] And Lazarus? Stay away from the boys.
